Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with Loco Hill
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
I clearly remember being a kid and watching the father of one of my friends play the guitar. There was something magical about the way he played so effortless, yet so powerful. I remember thinking, “Wow, this is incredible. I want to do this too.” That moment really stuck with me.
Not long after, I started taking guitar lessons and that became the starting point of my entire musical journey. As I grew older, music kept showing up in different forms. At one point, I reconnected with a friend from school, and together we decided to form a band. That experience opened the door for me to explore much more than just playing an instrument it pushed me toward music production and eventually into the world of DJing.
From small rehearsals to playing in clubs, I gradually discovered that music wasn’t just a hobby; it was the path I wanted to follow. That early memory with the guitar was the spark that set everything in motion.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
My passion for creating music really began the day I discovered Avicii. I remember hearing his tracks for the first time and feeling something completely new his melodies, his energy, the emotions behind every drop. It was like he opened a door to a world I didn’t know existed.
That moment pushed me to try producing music myself. I started experimenting on my laptop, trying to understand how he built those incredible sounds and how electronic music could be both powerful and emotional at the same time. From there, I fell in love with the creative process building a track from scratch, shaping every detail, and finding my own sound.
So if I had to pinpoint the true start of my passion, it definitely began with Avicii. He was the spark that made me want not just to listen to music, but to create it.
And actually, this connection with Avicii is still very present in my journey: on Friday, November 21st, my new song will be released it’s a cover of Avicii’s “I Could Be The One.” It’s my personal tribute to the artist who inspired me to begin this path in the first place, and I can’t wait for people to hear it.
What’s the story behind your current music project?
My current project is all about creating music that truly moves people, while still keeping a strong club-driven, electronic sound. I’ve always believed that the best way to achieve that balance is by blending the genres I love. When I combine different influences, I’m able to shape something that feels authentic and emotionally powerful.
For me, it starts with a simple rule: if a track doesn’t give me emotion first, it won’t give it to anyone else. So every project I work on has to resonate with me on a personal level. My goal is to make music that people can dance to, but also feel something that hits both the heart and the dancefloor.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
My sound is fresh, emotional, and very melody-driven. I try to create music that feels uplifting but still carries a strong personal touch, something that connects both on the dancefloor and on a deeper emotional level.
What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the importance of finding your own identity, regardless of what genres are trending at the moment. When you create music you genuinely love, the result feels real and the audience can feel that authenticity too.
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
I rely a lot on guitar and piano when I’m writing ideas, but I’m also waiting for a very unique instrument that I think will become a signature element of my sound. It’s a sort of piano whose tone is shaped by hand movements in the air I can’t wait to introduce it into my project.
Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?
It’s hard to pick just one. I listen to music in a full 360°, across many genres and styles. There’s so much great music out there that inspires me.
How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
My personal experiences influence everything I create. My music reflects exactly what I’m feeling at a given moment. It has always been an outlet for me a way to express emotions and let them flow freely.
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
I want people to feel inspired and uplifted when they hear my music. I hope it brings them happiness and a sense of freedom, even if just for a few minutes.
What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
Music has taught me that authenticity always wins. When you’re true to your sound and your emotions, the right people will connect with what you create.
What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
Like many DJs, Tomorrowland is definitely a dream. But growing up in Milan, I always watched concerts happening at the Forum di Assago. Playing there one day would be a huge personal milestone for me.
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?
Kygo, without a doubt. He’s my favorite artist at the moment, and his melodic style has inspired me a lot. Collaborating with him would be a dream.

Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?
My dream is to reach more and more people through my music, step by step. I want to grow naturally, connect emotionally with listeners, and build something meaningful over time.
What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
I hope listeners discover the authenticity behind my music the fact that every track comes from a real emotion, a real moment, a real part of who I am. I want people to feel that I’m not just creating sounds, but sharing a piece of my journey. If they can connect with my honesty, my energy, and the passion I put into every project, then they’ll truly understand who I am as an artist and as a person.
